Siam Wood
Siam Wood Essential Oil, also known as Pemou or Po Mu, is a precious oil from the evergreen Fokienia hodginsii, which can grow up to 100 feet tall. With a warm, creamy, woodsy aroma that has coniferous hints, this calming and grounding essential oil may help with fatigue, grief, stress, and also support mental clarity. Because of these benefits, Siam Wood makes an excellent addition to meditation and yoga practices. This essential oil may also be useful in alleviating sore muscles from overexertion and helping protect yourself against outdoor annoyances when you’re spending time outdoors.
The amazingly complex aroma of Siam Wood will be a great addition to all of your perfumery blends. It’s also because of this aroma and its benefits, that some consider it to be a lovely substitute for Sandalwood.

Star Anise CO2
Star Anise CO2 boasts an elegant, warm, and slightly spicy aroma that offers a gourmand richness and a hint of licorice to your fragrance blend DIYs. The supercritical extraction preserves the natural profile identity of the raw material giving it an aroma that is more true to the original plant.
Star Anise is believed to help ease occasional issues that affect older women, like sudden bursts of heat and sweating. It may also help support healthy digestion, ease occasional cramping, and soothe queasiness when you’ve overindulged or digestive issues strike.
